Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 887 Dictatorship ([-])

In the past, when the old president made any important decisions, they would make various evaluations, and after the calculations were no problems, they would hand over them for execution.Take the few reality show projects that Leila had done for NBC before, and they were all approved by them before handing over to the TV station for production.

After Laila came, their role would be much less.Well, it should be said that it is basically useless.Because as long as it is a plan she put forward, no matter whether they agree or not, they will directly implement it, and they will not listen to their negative opinions at all.

In this regard, the members of the think tank also felt that they were wronged, not because they deliberately found trouble, but because they really didn't see the good points of some projects.For example, the signing price she gave to several manuscripts was much beyond the normal range.

It's okay if you just give more money, anyway, this person is not short of money, maybe in her eyes, the manuscript fees are still very low.However, she not only gave the manuscript fee, but also gave the money for other copyrights, such as the right to adapt the film and television, and the authorization to translate other languages ​​and sell it to other countries.

They had heard for a long time that she just read the list and drew a few names for the publishing house to sign. She even only turned two pages of the original manuscript and didn't read it carefully at all.

You can judge whether it is a good book by seeing the title of the book. If you say it, you will definitely be laughed to death!No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to know whether the content in it will be liked by readers just by looking at the name.

Not to mention that she also spent a lot of money to get all kinds of messy authorizations. What made her think that a book that she didn't read carefully could be adapted into movies and TV, or could be translated into other languages? Eligibility to sell abroad?
According to the evaluation of their think tank, if you want to earn back all the money spent on signing the book, you must at least have the possibility of becoming a bestseller.If it becomes a bestseller, the authorization they get can make them a lot of money.But are bestsellers so easy to appear?

All kinds of books are put on the bookshelves of the bookstore every day, but how many of them are qualified as bestsellers?

If Laila had read those books, the people in the think tank would have been dubious at best, and would not have objected so strongly.After all, her reputation as a great Hollywood director is very trustworthy, and it is said that anyone she fancy will have a brilliant avenue of stars.

The problem is that she didn't read those books at all, but after seeing the titles in the book list, she asked someone to bring the manuscript over and read it for a second before deciding on it.

This matter was reported from the senior management of the publishing house, and its authenticity is absolutely guaranteed.It is precisely because of this that the think tank is very resistant to her approach.

In their line of work, the most important thing is data.Promoting a book as a potential work is a different process than publishing an ordinary book.The former will invest a lot, such as posting advertisements, and doing some publicity work, inviting authors to sign books, opening book clubs, and so on.

Ordinary books can make a limited amount of money, and they basically don't invest in those promotions.

It's not like the publishers hadn't done what Laila did before, but those were all very famous books.Like the new works of some famous masters, or the well-known works.No one would give so much money to a few works that seemed to be randomly selected from the book list.

Perhaps the new boss thought that if he had enough money to spend, he could turn any book into a bestseller.That's right, the possible overwhelming publicity can indeed make those books have a better sales volume for a certain period of time.But readers are not fools, and if one person is fooled, it means that his relatives and friends will not be fooled again.Just like good novels they will recommend, bad novels will also warn friends not to be deceived.

Therefore, no matter how much investment is made, it can only be useful for a period of time. It is very unlikely that someone will spend money to produce a few best-selling books, and no one will do that.

If the authors of those books hadn't been investigated, they were all ordinary people, and the people in the think tank would almost have thought that the authors of those books were known by Laila.If they didn't know each other, why would they pack these ordinary authors who have never heard of their names as famous authors just by looking at the title?
With a high salary, the think tank will naturally not let Oswald's family property be ruined by his granddaughter.So after they heard the news, they immediately made a request to Lila not to let her continue to "nonsense".

Laila has memories of the future and knows which books hold enormous potential.Not to mention that it was submitted by others, even if there was no submission, she would catch up with her and publish it.Is there any reason to push out the money delivered to the door?
However, she has no way to explain what happened in the future, except to be firm in her decision, she can only wait for the book to be published in the future and use real evidence to block their mouths.

So it was rare for her to be dictatorial, refusing any form of communication, and demanding that the people below must cooperate with her request.

This made the group of people in the think tank very angry. They have always been valued by the old man, how could they have been so angry?They ran to the old man one by one to complain, hoping that he would come forward and teach Laila a lesson, telling her that this is not how it is played in the mall, and she can't just look at it and think it will work.If such a powerful person really existed, wouldn't all the wealth in the world be earned by her alone?
However, the old man’s answer disappointed them. He said, “Now that Laila is acting as the CEO temporarily, she will be fully responsible for it. The success is due to her, and the failure is also borne by her. I know it has nothing to do with you, It won't be your fault."

The old man is like a mirror in his heart, knowing that these people will come to sue, firstly because Laila refuted their face, and secondly because they are unwilling to bear the loss of reputation caused by failure.

In business, no one can be sure that they will always be successful.Even the most successful business people will always make mistakes once or twice.The difference between successful businessmen and unsuccessful businessmen can be seen in their attitude towards failure.A successful businessman will take failure as a lesson, tell himself not to make the same mistake again, and draw inferences from one instance, even vigilant against similar mistakes.

And failed businessmen will start to be timid because of a failure, and they will no longer have the courage of the past.There is a saying that "the bold starve to death the timid". If you don't even have the courage to rush forward, how can you expect to succeed?
The members of the think tank who have been "spoiled" by the grandfather, each have a very high degree, and have many successful experiences. The most important thing is that their decisions can often determine the decisions of a tens of billions of group bosses, which makes them Subconsciously, I feel that I am great, and I can't accept failure even more.
